There are god people, compassionate people out there and I am so glad you found one.

As far as the bullying, I wish I had advice. Zachary went through it in fourth grade and it made him miserable. My husband wound up picking him up every day at school instead of letting him take the bus because that's where the worst of it occurred. Eventually it ended, likely because they found another target.

I hope the school steps in and does something, although they didn't in our case.
